Buddy at work asked if I reloaded 270 Short mag, told him didn't have any dies, well, long story short, Fleet farm in Wausau had everything I needed, 130NBTs, Win brass, RCBS dies, Gander Mtn. had the ammo cases, Ive got the RE17 & primers. Talking to Robert at Sierra if they loaded RE17 with this round and his reply was never tried it, but their accuracy load was 60.5grs IMR4350, knowing RE17 & that powder are close on the burn rate chart I loaded 60grs for my buddy, just 10 rounds so he can sight his Tikka in and all that. Checked the runout after I finished and was pleasantly surprised runout was never more than .003", best was about .001". Outstanding! I'll take these puppies to work so he can test fire them, hope they're accurate. Nosler ballistic Tips usually are.
